Ronaldo’s mum slams Payet for injuring her son

The Portuguese superstar's mother has taken a
really dim view of Payet's tackle on her son and has even suggested that
it was intentional.

Though he only played 25 minutes of the game,
Cristiano Ronaldo was inevitably the talking point of the Euro 2016
final on Sunday.

The Portugal skipper had to be stretchered off the field after a rough coming together with Dimitri Payet of France.
Though the West Ham man got to the ball and dispossessed the Real
Madrid superstar, his trailing leg left Ronaldo on the ground writhing
in pain and clutching his knee.
The Portuguese twice attempted to continue but eventually had to be carried off after the pain became too much.
Ronaldo was in tears as he came off, instantly turning Payet into the
villain of the match as Portugal fans booed his every touch.
The French attacking midfielder has to be subbed off early in the
second half as the spectators’ hostility started to get to him.
Even though Portugal won the game and hence Euro 2016, Ronaldo’s mum, Dolores Ronaldo, was not happy about the challenge.
After the game she launched a tirade on Twitter accusing Payet of being malicious.

“I cannot see my son in this way,” she wrote. “The game is about kicking the ball, not hurting the opponent.”
In a later Tweet, Dolores added: “My son left the field but our team can win. I trust that we will be able to lift the cup.”
Payet has however come out to deny the claims made by CR7’s mom. The
Hammers attacker has also apologized for hurting the Madrid striker.
“No, it was a challenge, that’s all, period,” Payet said. “I regained the possession and if I hurt him it was not intentional.
